Transport networks in Europe. Concepts, analysis and policies

Transport networks in Europe. Concepts, analysis and policies:
Transport networks are becoming increasingly important as free trade, open access, increased competition and greater market orientation are fundamental to the current restructuring of Europe. Infrastructure networks are the corner stones of European integration and this book provides a comprehensive overview of the current concepts and policies which are being examined by researchers, government officials and policy-makers.

'Transport networks in Europe' explores current debates and presents new proposals for well-functioning infrastructure networks. The collection of chapters brings together revised and updated versions of papers presented to, and discussed during, the European Research Conference entitled 'Policies on European Networks' held under the auspices of the Network on European Communications and Transport Activity Research (NECTAR) in Espinho, Portugal in April 1995. Key issues discussed include: Regional development; congestion; urban transport policy; private-public co-operation; environmental sustainability; transport borders and barriers.

The authors place emphasis on sustainable transport and provide a wide spectrum of policy recommendation for sustainable transport networks at the European, national and urban levels.
